  • Nova Scotia Routes
    Nova Scotia – Northern Mainland Northern Mainland of Nova Scotia Most visitors pass through this part of Nova Scotia on their way to better-known tourist destinations – north to Cape Breton or south to the Lighthouse Route – leaving quieter roads for the cyclist. But northern mainland Nova Scotia has spectacular scenery and extraordinary variety, from gentle countryside reminiscent of Prince Edward Island, to coastal mountains and bluffs that are often compared to Cape Breton. The warm waters of Northumberland Strait lap inviting beaches on the northern shore, while just 60 kilometres to the south, the giant, cold tides of Fundy have created a rugged coastline that is ideal for shorebirds, hikers, beachcombers, and photographers – but not for swimmers! The eastern Atlantic coast, like the better known Lighthouse Route, has rocks, lighthouses, fishing villages, and fog, but with far fewer people. In fact, northern Nova Scotia has less tourist traffic than any other part of the province. Maritimers are known for friendliness, but in this quiet part of Nova Scotia, where cycle tourists are still something of a novelty, Near Cap D’Or you will receive welcomes that are even warmer and more genuine than usual. When we cycled here, we were struck by the pride residents feel in their corner of the province. When they learned we were writing a guidebook, they often said something like, “You be sure to tell people what a grand place this is!” We describe three wonderful loop rides in Northern Nova Scotia. The Amherst-Chignecto Tour, in blue, is the longest. It begins and ends near the New Brunswick border and could take a week or more.

Through funding from Department of Health Promotion and Protection, Bicycle Nova Scotia contracted Eastwind Cycle (EWC) to conduct a feasibility report on the interest and potential for such an initiative. The Phase I report entitled “Scoping the Blue Route: Feasibility of A Nova Scotia Bikeways Network,” was completed in January 2009. That report provides the rationale for a province-wide bikeways network, examples from other regions and a baseline map for suggested transportation routes. To build on the Phase I the report and its recommendations were presented across Nova Scotia in communities from Yarmouth to Port Hawkesbury from September 2009 – March 2010. The specific goals and objectives of Phase II are summarized in Goals in Appendix I.

It is to be used in con­ junction with a highway map, obtainable free of charge at any tourist bureau. In the back of this booklet is a list of the birds which have been found in Nova Scotia, annotated in 1972. Roger Tory Peterson's Field Guide to the Birds is completely adequate for field identification in this region, but for more serious bird students, Robie Tufts' The Birds of Nova Scotia is the definitive work, and is'available at the Nova Scotia Museum, 1747 Summer Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia is about 350 miles long and 50 to 100 miles wide. Being a peninsula, the coast is nowhere hard to reach, and for the most part it is easy to get near enough to the birds to see them with or without binoculars. There are many paved highways and byways from which branch small gravel or dirt roads leading down to the shore or into the woods. Even among the hardwood stands, the trees are not lofty, and visibility is quite good.

Visiting new and exciting destinations, especially international destinations, may currently seem out of reach, but we have been working hard preparing for later in 2021, and for 2022. Please know that your safety is always important to us in operating any of our touring programs. As the landscape and scope of COVID-19 protocols are being updated daily, adjustments to itineraries and / or cancellation of touring programs may occur. Rest assured that all decisions to operate itineraries will totally depend on whether we can do so safely. Throughout this whole pandemic, we have strived to keep our chins up, look ahead to brighter days, and be proactive. In fact, this past Fall we were successful in safely operating a few day tours, and a three-night tour to Cape Breton, all while following the guidelines set forth by Public Health.
